Welcome! You've found Australia's premier competitive LGBTIQ inclusive basketball club! Originally formed to represent Sydney in the 2002 Gay Games, Spectres Australia has clubs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Since 2001, The Spectres have been a well-known and much loved part of the Australian and International LGBTIQ sporting and basketball community.
Our mission is to provide an environment free from harassment and discrimination for members and friends of the LGBTIQ community, to play basketball, get fit and socialise. Although winning is important, showing respect, making new friends, and building our community are the core values deeply engrained in the Spectres culture.
The Spectres caters for all levels of skill and fitness, and is committed to creating a welcoming environment for all new and existing members. New players can enquire about joining us here. We train regularly at various locations around the country. Please visit our Sydney or Melbourne teams pages for more information. At the moment we are just setting up our Brisbane and Perth teams.
